Each person on a team has responsibilities, both unique to the individual and collectively shared by all employees. When a healthcare professional understands their role, the team is better able to fulfill its mission to provide superior patient care and service. But learning a role and developing professional and leadership skills doesn’t happen in a silo; it involves the efforts of others as well. This occurs during supervisor-subordinate interactions, during training sessions, and as the employee is coached over time. A key way to develop professionally is through a mentorship program. This course discusses how mentors and a mentorship program can help develop employees over time.

Over the past decade, credit risk has become a main focus for many financial institutions, most notably banks. Credit risk occurs when there is a possibility of a borrower or counterparty to a transaction being unable or unwilling to perform their financial obligations. Utilizing credit risk mitigation techniques, financial institutions are able to minimize what could otherwise be substantial losses when the credit markets or particular borrowers are under pressure. The losses may sometimes be large enough to render a company insolvent and put it out of business. Mitigating the loss due to credit risk ensures that if conditions deteriorate, the financial institution will be able to recover quickly or even remain unaffected. This course introduces two main sources of credit risk: pre-settlement risk and settlement risk. It also investigates various methods for mitigating credit risk, such as netting, margins, collateral, and hedging.

In the Analyze phase of the DMAIC methodology, a Six Sigma team begins to analyze the root causes of the problems that it identified in the earlier stages. This analysis may require churning out huge volumes of data of different types. Sometimes this data is of a multivariate nature, meaning that many dependent and independent variables need to be considered simultaneously. As such, Six Sigma teams often use advanced multivariate tools to manage this type of data. Another set of advanced statistical analysis tools used in this phase is nonparametric tests. In conventional hypothesis tests - called parametric tests - a sample statistic is obtained to estimate a population parameter and hence requires a number of assumptions to be made about the underlying population, such as the normality of data. However, a nonparametric test is used when some of these assumptions, such as normality of data, cannot be safely made. This course deals with multivariate and categorical data analysis tools such as factor analysis, discriminant analysis, and multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA). The course also aims to familiarize learners with approaches for analyzing nonparametric data, particularly the use of Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests for validating hypotheses. This course is aligned with the ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt certification exam and is designed to assist learners as part of their exam preparation. It builds on foundational knowledge that is taught in SkillSoft's ASQ-aligned Green Belt curriculum.

Over the past few decades the mutual fund industry has seen extreme swings in performance, resulting in dramatic changes in the value of investors' portfolios. The risk versus return dynamics of a mutual fund must be carefully analyzed by any investor. The investors must consider whether the type of mutual fund they are about to invest in is appropriate for their objectives. In order to do so, the investor should assess the fund's historical return and the amount of risk that the fund has taken to achieve that return, as well as other critical factors. To assess all this information, investors must be able to read and understand the fund prospectus and any other complementary information that is provided by the fund manager and other public sources. The mutual fund industry is a highly regulated industry whereby financial authorities set rules and restrictions to improve transparency of transactions, in an effort to ensure the safety of investors' money. This course introduces a number of performance metrics such as Total Return, Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio, Alpha, Standard Deviation, Beta, and R-squared, which are used to determine the risk and return characteristics of a mutual fund. The course then covers the basics of a mutual fund prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, along with an overview of global mutual fund regulations.

Mutual funds have seen phenomenal growth over a number of decades, with no sign of it slowing down in the future. The key benefits to investors are that the funds allow for diversification, professional investment management, and asset liquidity. Equity and bond are the two most traditional types of mutual funds where active and passive investment strategies are employed. Active investment strategies require the investment managers to perform due diligence and apply financial and business acumen to increase the value of funds under management, whereas passive investment strategies focus on replicating an already established index of equities or bonds. An important aspect of mutual funds is accounting, which is centered around the accurate valuation of the fund's assets and the calculation of the Net Asset Value. The topics in this course cover equity mutual funds and the strategies used for their management such as replication, sampling, growth, and value. Bond mutual funds are introduced and corresponding strategies such as managing the duration and yield curve position are covered. Finally, the course introduces the main accounting functions of mutual funds and how the Net Asset Value is calculated.

Making credit decisions requires proficiency in both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Qualitative analysis is a nonfinancial credit analysis that complements the quantitative analysis and is regularly used by banks and other financial institutions that lend money to businesses. In addition to other information about the entity, the analysis also reveals important information such as whether the business being analyzed has competent management and whether it is likely to produce enough cash flow to service any credit that may be extended. After credit decisions have been made, credit analysts must constantly monitor the quality of the loan portfolio to ensure that the bank does not take on any unnecessary risk. This involves ranking loans according to their quality, as well as ensuring that enough cash reserves are put aside to protect the bank from possible defaults. This course introduces nonfinancial credit analysis and includes the Five Cs used to assess credit risk, as well as Porter's Five Forces that assess the competitiveness of a business. It then looks at a framework for evaluating the management of the business to determine its competence in performing its duties. Finally, the course briefly examines the process for analyzing asset quality in a bank's lending portfolio and classifying assets according to their level of credit risk.

Basel regulations, specifically Basel II, establish principles and guidelines for banks to calculate their minimum capital requirements for credit, market, and operational risk. Operational risk represents the risk of financial loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, and systems or from external events. Depending on the level of sophistication of individual banks, Basel II permits three methods for calculating operational risk capital charges: basic indicator approach, standardized approach, and advanced measurement approach (AMA). The AMA is the most sophisticated and risk sensitive of the three and allows banks to use their own method for assessing their exposure to operational risk provided they meet certain requirements set by Basel. A bank's AMA would be obliged to make use of certain data elements, primarily taking into account internal loss, business environment, and internal control factors to create a reliable estimate of the operational risk capital charge. Banks should also have systems for regular validation and verification and should ensure successful development, implementation, and maintenance of the AMA framework. This course presents a high-level view of the advanced measurement approach and Basel regulations for its successful deployment in banks. It recognizes types of AMAs and characteristics of AMA data elements. It then explains validation and verification as part of operational risk management framework and identifies key components of operational loss event valuation.

The Basel Committee identifies operational risk as the key risk that banks face on account of inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or external events. The Committee requires that banks hold adequate capital to cover these potential losses. Banks use a number of methods and tools to identify, assess, quantify, and respond to potential operational risk events. These may include building and using a loss event database, identifying key risk indicators (KRIs), and using tools such as risk and control self-assessment (RCSA), scenarios, and scorecards. The analysis of historic losses also provides meaningful information for assessing the bank's exposure to operational risk and for developing a strategy for their mitigation and control. This course introduces identification, assessment, and quantification of operational risk in a bank or a financial institution including key decisions affecting the determination of internal loss database, the KRI framework, steps in the RCSA process, and operational risk quantification.

Basel regulations include established principles and guidelines for managing operational risks and holding adequate capital to cover potential losses from operational risk events. The Basel Committee requires a bank or a financial institution to have an adequate operational risk management framework for this purpose. As a result, an operational risk management (ORM) framework and corresponding ORM processes should comprise important steps such as identification, assessment, reporting, monitoring and control, and mitigation of operational risk. The ORM efforts at a bank yield several management applications aimed at business goals such as risk awareness, loss reduction, and risk optimization and mitigation. This course discusses various aspects of operational risk management framework, process and applications in banks. It identifies key risk events, characteristics of an operational risk management framework, and steps in an ORM process. The course then discusses key management applications of ORM efforts, challenges, and components of ORM deployment strategy.
